A Dani free day at last

We need to have this happen more often so we can focus on other characters with more potential.

At least my girl was in PREVIOUSLY. 

 

LOL! 

OMG, IT'S BEEN A WHOLE MONTH! HOW DID TIME FLY BY so quickly! 

The way the episode ended was weird/off. The scene just quickly faded to black/credits. I felt like that wasn't intended to be the last scene but it was.  And coincidentally, it was another breakdown by Gregori Martin with unusual editing.

You think the episode would have ended with Joey on the phone to Marcel. You know, a dramatic scene to end the episode of a soap opera. Strange. However, I found today better than practically all of last week. I think Marcel is probably undercover rather than crooked, but we'll see. I thought the Anita/Naomi scenes were sweet and wonderful, and the rap was adorable and showed a fun contrast to Anita's steelier side. It was also nice to learn more about Jacob, and I'm fully invested in what Joey has planned and how it's starting to effect more people.

He could be better, but I'm not minding Tomas too much. I think he's slowly getting better and more comfortable. But if he's just a plot point for the Eva/Kat rivalry, so be it.

I haven't seen it all the way through yet...busy Monday...but I did like seeing so many of the C plots get movements and moments.

I loved today's episode. It was a very character driven episode to me. Tamara Tunie!!! She is amazing and I loved her rap LOL

Tomas, is definitely improving and I like him with Kat. Eva was too funny and definitely a scene stealer today.

I hope we get to meet Darlene and Luke and see more of Elon and the Hawthorne's. 

I'm so glad this show exist!!!

Totally. True to form, while Dani embodies certain things we've seen in prior soaps, she is also quite an original in a way.  And, the mugshot photoshoot is one good example. Never saw anyone do that before. I don't see how we can get past the fact that she is so darn much fun. 

So human, so flawed. Is her personality too big for an ordinary person's life? We know her daughter's think she is overbearing but I wonder if others see that side of her. She is the way she is about her girls because she cares so much about their success. If she cares that much for anyone else I suspect their names is Dupree.

I bet Nicole is maternal with her clients. 

Big moment when Eva made the decision to turn Leslie in!!! Leslie to a degree has blinders on about Ted, so Eve does not have to worry about beging found out. 

Dani could have bribed the waitstaff at any point ahead of time & it just being played out then.

Hayley even said herself that she knew it was going to take time but that she was patient. Then, oops, suddenly after the honeymoon-ette, no more patience, decidely IMpatient! 

Totally agree. She has traits of other soap characters, but she is originally her own person. And yes, her personality is too big for a lot of folk, but there are people like that in real life so I can understand. 

 

I bet Nicole is, too.

 

I feel SilkPress will find out about Eva. The question is when. But just the fact that both of them have a secret makes it all that much juicier for when they find out about the other one.

 

How that scene was set up...nope. Don't believe it. As shown and written...not to mentioned acted...Dani did not know. And one thing we can be sure of...Dani IS the type of character who would have admitted she did in that moment.

 

Yep, Hayley is just impatient to fit in. And as she was told in Episode 1...that is sooo not going to happen on her timetable.

IKR. But they will get the hang of it.

I know right! Casting be on point with the men on this show looks-wise. And like father, like son for me.

I wonder if she wasn't in a foul mood because of the mini-honeymoon

I really enjoyed today's episode. JDB's continues to excel with his dialogue. We went from "camel toe" to "robbing the cradle to robbing the grave," although the Diego actor flubbed the line.

I love the world building regarding the Hawthorne family and also learning more about Anita's past. I'm already wishcasting Anita's former groupmates and the role of Darlene Hawthorne in my mind. 

I do agree, however, that the outlining was odd. We saw Chelsea and Kat at the country club, then Orphey Gene's, then back at the country club. Why not have lunch at the club? I enjoyed Anita's turn as rapping granny as much as the runway party from a few weeks ago but it was not my estimation of a soap ending, even for a Monday.

I totally think she wished they were still on their honeymoon.

Looks like they're building the Hawthorne family. We heard that Jacob's mom is a 911 operator named Darlene, and his brother Luke is also a cop.
